Harlowe didn't mean to fall in love with Zoe- but when does anyone ever mean to fall in love? Somewhere between the costumes, and the dances, and the little touches backstage, Harlowe had let herself slip. Zoe was an older girl, with her portrait in pink feathers and pearls stretch across the outside of the club, but she never bit her tongue. She told Harlowe she was pretty and talented- she told Harlowe she was special- and after long enough Harlowe started believing her. Zoe could convince Harlowe to do anything. That's how everything changed. * * * "Why did you leave Saturday?" Zoe asked suddenly, her voice still warm and sedated like her body in Harlowe's lap. Harlowe chewed her bottom lip. She didn't like lying, but she was good at half truths. "My mom was blowing up my phone. She grounded me." She watched Zoe's features twist into something unpleasant, and Harlowe ran a finger over her cheek in vain, trying to smooth her frown. "You're eighteen." Zoe reasoned. Harlowe shrugged though. "I'm also trying not to get kicked out." "That's not fun." Zoe hummed after a minute, closing her eyes to savour the feeling of Harlowe's fingers twisting through her hair and the rain splattering at their toes.

When Emily and her husband move into a mansion on Inwood Hill, she expects a quiet new beginning. The house was once a "reformation home" for troubled women. But the women weren't reformed. They were silenced. As she digs deeper, she begins to see them-glimpses of former performers in feathered headdresses and Vaudeville makeup, dancing between the walls, whispering warnings through the wallpaper. The past isn't haunting her. It's recruiting her. When the glamour and violence of the mansion's hidden history bleed into the present, she must uncover what happened to the women locked here before her... before the house decides she belongs to it too. A dark, atmospheric psychological horror blending feminist revenge, burlesque allure, and the ghosts of Vaudeville. Everything in this house was designed to correct her. But she wasn't built to be corrected.

She stitches beauty into every costume-until her own skin becomes the fabric. Lina Marris, a 30-year-old costume designer in the shadowy heart of Oakland's underground burlesque scene, is precise, composed, and always behind the curtain. She dresses goddesses, touches starlets, and lives by a rule she's never broken: control everything-or get consumed. But her carefully hemmed world begins to unravel when two wildly different people enter her orbit: - Richard Carver, a magnetic 55-year-old architect with shoulders built for silence and a philosophy carved in steel. - Delia, a red-haired, barefoot temptation who flirts like a prayer and never knocks before entering. Caught between structure and surrender, love and performance, Lina begins to peel back the layers of who she's always been-and touches the raw pulse of who she might become. A sensual, slow-burning exploration of power, intimacy, and the beautiful, brutal act of being seen.
